researchers have identified NetamLoader, a .NET loading framework built on XAML markup, which appears to be a supply-chain attack on a customised build used only by Asian government bodies. Kaspersky Security Network flagged a .config file that used AppDomainManager injection to load the malware. No known APT group has been linked to the campaign.
